Upcoming Fallacy Assignment

The fallacy assignment involves collecting ten fallacies, displaying them, and explaining how and in what sense the examples are fallacious. The assignment is weighed as one essay. The student may display the fallacy in whatever way seems appropriate, and the instructor will try to be sure there's class time for people to display fallacies in class.

For anyone behind on blogging, or even those who are not, fallacy samples with comment will make great blog entries, as will reappraisal and constructive comment on other people's fallacy samples. Students can get credit for blog entries while they get feedback on their fallacy analyses before turning these in for credit.
